Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sliding type transmission joint.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a sliding transmission joint of the type in which a first element is connected to a first shaft and comprises vortices distributed angularly in a regular manner around the geometric axis of the first shaft, each vortex receiving a rolling element which is mounted rotating and sliding on the tourbillon, and in which a second element is connected to a second shaft and comprises raceways distributed angularly in a regular manner around the geometric axis of the second shaft, each raceway having two tracks parallel between which is received one of the rolling elements.
  • This type of seal can produce, in torque and angle operation, cyclic axial forces which are transmitted to the entire transmission equipped with such seals and which in particular generate significant noise.
  • Document US-A-4,026,123 describes and represents a sliding transmission joint of the type mentioned above in which the geometrical axis of the journal forms a first acute angle relative to a reference line perpendicular to the axis of the first shaft and contained in a plane containing the geometric axes of the first shaft and the journal, and in which the central longitudinal axis of the raceway contained in a plane containing the geometric axis of the second shaft forms a second acute angle with the geometric axis from the second tree.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a sliding type transmission joint which, whatever the relative axial position of the two elements of the joint, has substantially constant characteristics and in particular minimal axial reactions and a constant sliding force. relative of the two elements of the joint.
  • the invention provides a sliding type transmission joint in which a first element is connected to a first shaft and comprises journals distributed angularly in a regular manner around the geometric axis of the first shaft, each journal receives an element of bearing which is mounted rotating and sliding on the trunnion, the geometrical axis of the trunnion forms a first acute angle with respect to a reference line perpendicular to the axis of the first shaft and contained in a plane containing the geometrical axes of the first shaft and of the journal, and in which a second element is connected to a second shaft and comprises raceways distributed angularly in a regular manner around the geometric axis of the second shaft, each raceway comprises two parallel tracks between which an element is received runway, the central longitudinal axis of the runway contained in a plane containing l he geometric axis of the second tree forms a second acute angle with the geometric axis of the second tree, characterized in that the value of each of said acute angles is less than 15 °.
  • the axis of the journal forms a third angle relative to the longitudinal axis center of the associated raceway whose value is different from 90 °.
  • FIG. 1 recognizes a transmission joint 10 of the sliding type comprising a tripod 12 connected to a first shaft 14 and a body or barrel 16 connected to a second shaft 18.
  • the seal 10 is shown in FIG. 1 in its aligned position in which the geometric axis A1 of the first shaft 14 is coincident with the geometric axis A2 of the second shaft 18.
  • the tripod 12 is made up of three cylindrical arms or journals with axes AT 20 distributed angularly at 120 ° around the axis A1 of the shaft 14.
  • Each pin 20 receives a roller 22 with a spherical outer profile 24 which is mounted to rotate and slide on the pin 20 with the interposition of a series of needles 26.
  • Each roller is mounted to rotate and its axis of rotation coincides with the geometric axis AT of the corresponding arm.
  • the pins 20 are connected by their base to a central hub 28, the grooved internal bore 30 of which is mounted on the grooved free end 32 of the first shaft 14 with respect to which the hub 28 is immobilized axially.
  • each pin 20 is not perpendicular to the axis A1 of the first shaft 14.
  • the barrel 16 is a tulip-shaped element which has three raceways angularly distributed at 120 ° around the axis A2 of the second shaft 18 and each of which receives a roller 22.
  • Each raceway has two parallel tracks 34.
  • the tracks 34 are straight tracks and the central longitudinal axis ACR of each raceway is inclined relative to the axis A2 of the second shaft 18.
  • FIG. 2 for a more detailed description of the geometric characteristics of the sliding joint in FIG. 1.
  • the axis AT of the pin 20 is contained in a plane, the plane of the sheet, containing the geometric axis of the first shaft 14 which it cuts at C.
  • the axis AT forms a first acute angle ⁇ 1 with respect to a reference line DR1 perpendicular to the axis A1 of the first shaft 18 and contained in the plane containing the geometric axes A1 and AT.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 is a negative angle.
  • the central longitudinal axis ACR of the raceway associated with the journal is inclined relative to the geometric axis A2 of the second shaft 18 and therefore relative to a reference line DR2 parallel to the geometric axis A2.
  • the axis ACR forms a second acute angle ⁇ 2 relative to the axis A2 and therefore relative to the line DR2.
  • the angle ⁇ 2 is a positive angle according to the convention adopted.
  • the axis ACR is contained in the plane, the plane of the sheet, containing the geometric axis A2 of the second tree 18 and which also contains the axes A1 and AT.
  • I has designated the point of competition for the AT and ACR axes.
  • the axis AT of the pin 20 forms a third angle ⁇ 3 relative to the axis ACR.
  • the angle ⁇ 3 is a positive angle.
  • the value of the angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 is less than 15 °.
  • One of the two angles ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2 can be zero.
  • the third angle ⁇ 3 is less than 90 °.
  • the angle ⁇ 2 is a negative angle within the meaning of the representation convention adopted in FIG. 2.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 is a positive angle, while the angle ⁇ 3 is an angle positive greater than 90 °.
  • the central longitudinal axis ACR of the raceway designates the median axis between the two tracks which is parallel to the line which passes through the opposite axial ends of a track 24, the latter being not necessarily straight but may have a curvature.
  • angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 such that their sum is substantially equal to twice the average angle of use of the joint on a vehicle proves to be particularly advantageous during the vehicle acceleration phases.
